The old cliche to work your way out of a job really resonated with me when I made this transition. It is natural to want to take on a task for yourself and to think you're doing your team a favor by shielding them from details you have a mastery on. But, once you get into the mindset of enabling everyone by focusing on training and knowledge sharing, you find that people are far more capable than perhaps you give them credit for and in fact do them a disservice by not giving them more reign. Worst case, you get a bit of sanity back from being less of a bottleneck. It may not seem like it, but most of the time the people applying tight time pressures are ourselves (customers also have more patience than we give them credit for), and it is generally worth it to invest in teaching someone to fish, as it were.
